Like that but in Utah and it was only me looking |
This is Carl. I, uh, work for the janitorial staff here at
the Church Office building. Yah, so yesterday morning, I got here really early ‘cuz
I like to get here early Monday morning, you know, start my week off right. I
usually clean the offices in the basement first, and the lowest level of the
basement is usually the dirtiest and that is where the offices are for the
Mormon Tabernacle Enquirer. I never know what I’m going to find in there. One
week they had a goat, boxes of string cheese, eight track tapes, glue guns, and like four hundred Christmas trees with little blue Book of Mormon lights on them. And it was
June. A few weeks later there was this really confused family of eight from
Guatemala that I think someone bought off of the dark web or something. Lots of
weird stuff!
So anyway yesterday morning I got there real early, and wouldn’t
you know it they was all there. The editorial people, I mean all thirty-seven of them were
in the conference room along with most of the reporters. Elder Kory Anton was in
his office writing something, I think his letter to the First Presidency about
getting back to his mission. Shania Bender was in from Ohio, Gene Dyer, and Hannah
Shelton from New Hampshire. It was like they all decided to get to work super
early, and it was super busy.
So right then I seen this huge light, you know like one of
those spotlights for where there’s a new store opening or something. Yah, so
there was this light, and the whole place was just all white and lit up. It’s
usually kinda dark down there, you know, on account of there not being windows
since it’s in the basement, but I tell you it was as bright as noon up in the
President’s office. Then I heard some noise, but I couldn’t make out what it
was. It was like really loud mumbling. So all of the journalists and the staff,
and even the interns that just make hot chocolate and copies and stuff, well
they was all looking and listening. And then they all had like these really meh looks on their face, you know like when you remember something you have to do but you don’t care either way.
So right after they started looking meh, suddenly they all sort
of lifted up, floated out the doors, up the stairs, and then right up into the
sky. I followed’m, but I could hardly keep up. By the time I got outside I
could just see the last ones, you know, like Barley B. Bratt and some of the
sports staff disappearing into the clouds. It was the craziest thing.
I must’of been staring for a while, ‘cuz then there was two
guys who looked like they were from the temple came and says to me, “ye man of Sandy,
why stand ye gazing up into heaven?” I told them that I thought that all of the
Mormon Tabernacle Enquirer people had, like, flown up to heaven, and they told
me something like “these same…reporters and editors, which are taken up from
you, um, I’m not sure they were going to heaven exactly.”
